I have done Middleton before actually it was a great depot but a bit empty when I visited. ua-cam.com/video/4jFltz3bMW0/v-deo.html theres the link if you would like to watch👌
Not sure if they have eating areas there I no queens road did as my friend used to be a driver there but thought people might find it interesting to see behind the scenes more that if they will let you.
I think they are going to keep the magic bus routes because to this day they still operate. In a nice new livery as well but I prefer the old magic bus livery.
Great Video. As you we're saying about firstgroup being pushed out of Manchester. I can't see that depot in Oldham lasting to long, especially as they have cut a lot of service's, including the 389, which has now been reinstated by Stagecoach. I would probably say Go North West will take over the Oldham Operations or maybe even Stagecoach them selves.
Thank you very much!! Yes I agree with you as first are bot investing much into the Manchester fleet as it seems Stagecoach have dominated them and I'd probably say it could go to GNW but I'm not sure as they have made some route maps meaning they would have to overtake again and they have finally made their network with all of the routes and branding, second I could say Stagecoach might and could do this but this would mean they'd have to close down either Ashton depot or Middleton I'd probably say Middleton would close or maybe they could just overtake the routes but they'd need a few buses for this, but last I could say Diamond would suite this actually as with this recent order of about 130 new buses that would be perfect for them and they dont really have a complete network like GNW as they are big on route branding and diamond are more take routes they can operate so I'd say they could suite is quite good making them have 3 depots in quite a distance from each other
Great video,nice to see the different types of buses,very informative aswell,do you own a bus yourself?it would be an idea for you to preserve one for the future maybe?liked this video,i drive buses in edinburgh,😁❤👍
Thank you! I do not own a bus as I am 16 and it would be very expensive but I do plan to buy one very soon! I would definitely do that and so some videos on her. I hope it's good in Edinburgh I wouldn't mind visiting some day.
You'd have to contact the company, I've gained my reputation by visiting a lot and making my self know, no age limit just be respectful and safe around the depot
Indeed it was I always call up and I was shown around then they let me do my own thing as I was trusted but sometimes there can times where depots can be strict because the threat level
The 59 route is still operated by first so they are still funding the Manchester routes. Although they will soon be gone, taken over by GNW.
Lancaster still have a few trident in operation but mostly 55 regs
U should do a tour of stagecoach Middleton Depot maybe show like where they sign-in and eat as well As the buses

And that's a good idea as hyde roads reception and eating area had been refurbished
Not sure if they have eating areas there I no queens road did as my friend used to be a driver there but thought people might find it interesting to see behind the scenes more that if they will let you.
Just another thought maybe show the radio control room.

The Hyde Road Depot is the head of 2 companies
Stagecoach in Wigan
Stagecoach in Manchester

Unfortunately I don't see these buses anymore

@@TransportWithDee thanks for replying,hope you like edinburgh when you decide to come up, hope you get a bus one day,all the best😁👍
How do you do the depot tours?
Do you need to be a certain age?
If not i would love to do one
You'd have to contact the company, I've gained my reputation by visiting a lot and making my self know, no age limit just be respectful and safe around the depot
@@TransportWithDee are right ok then, will have to contact my local depot and see what they say thanks for letting me know
It’s Jack Taylor train videos epic here am on another account
Was this a visit with permission? All the depots I've worked at have never allowed people into the cabs of vehicles without supervision.....
Indeed it was I always call up and I was shown around then they let me do my own thing as I was trusted but sometimes there can times where depots can be strict because the threat level
Next time you do a depot tour can you find the oldest e200
Should see it in my newest video
This is my other channel
This is jacks train videos epic as I deleted my other account
New sub here
Music is way to loud. Can barely hear your voice.
Sorry about that! Check out another tour, make sure to lower it for next time😊
